Most of the significant roster changes made by Seattle Seahawks’ GM John Schneider this year have come on the offensive side of the ball. Nine of eleven draft picks and the bulk of the free agent money were devoted to shoring up the offense.
That makes sense. Last year, Seattle finished in the middle of the league in most key offensive categories, but when paired with above-average numbers in turnovers and penalties, it resulted in a mediocre overall performance. So, lots of key players and coaches on offense have been replaced.
The same has not happened on defense.
